Spotify Upgrades AI DJ With New Voices, Personalities and a Low-Commentary Mode

Spotify has upgraded its AI DJ, giving Premium subscribers the ability to choose between different voices and personalities and to cut back on the chatter between songs, the streamer announced.

The expanded line-up includes seven English voices with British, American, Irish, Australian and Indian accents, plus two Spanish voices. Each has its own personality: among the American options, Casey is laid-back and warm, Tess is direct with an edge, and Lane brings a Southern accent and youthful energy. In Spanish, the down-to-earth Nico and the witty, friendly Fabi replace the earlier voice, Livi. The original English voice, X, based on a Spotify employee’s recordings, remains available.

A new setting lets users switch off commentary between songs, limiting the DJ to brief remarks when it starts and stops. Spotify said this suits situations such as parties, where listeners want background music without interruptions.

First introduced in 2023, the AI DJ is used by more than 94 million Premium listeners and remains one of Spotify’s most popular AI features, alongside its conversational music agent, prompt-based recommendations, AI playlists and integrations with ChatGPT and Claude.

The update is rolling out to Premium users across the more than 95 markets where the DJ is supported.
